Common Threads by The Raving Knaves

Bah-da-bop-bah-da

Driving your Cabriolet… Bah-da-bop-bah-da

Each bumper sticker seems to say… Bah-da-bop-bah-da

That you are out to have your way

and you’ll get it any day… Bah-da-bop-bah-da

Power trio girl

Give your life a whirl

Tell everyone you broke the code

Power trio girl

Gonna give the world

Another reason to explode

College days are lost on some

There’s no need to look so glum

You’ve got a Gibson in your hand

Four years of high school fuels your band

You’ve got the jock boys on the run

You’re just out there having fun

And your guitar is out of key

That’s why they say “land of the free.”

Coke bottle glasses on your nose

Don’t be afraid to strike a pose

Just count it down 1-2-3-4

You’ll have them hopping on the floor

Some “sweaty bar rock” with an Ohio flavor…

Midwest Queen

She dances like she’s seventeen

Stops to love me in between

Black lace garters so pristine

Tell me, have you seen my Midwest queen?

High tops, white shirt denim jeans                                                    

Long hair short pants sight unseen

Have you seen

            My Midwest queen?

Have you seen

            My Midwest queen?

Took her down to the bowling lanes

With Pabst Blue Ribbon and white sweat stains

I’m one cat that don’t dig Hanes

Guess that’s why our love sustains

High tops, white shirt denim jeans                                                    

Long hair short pants sight unseen

Have you seen

            My Midwest queen?

Have you seen

            My Midwest queen?

Cuyahoga River rolls so slow

Behind our house in the valley below

We dive in where the crowds don’t go

When she swims she lets it show

High tops, white shirt denim jeans                                                    

Long hair short pants sight unseen

Have you seen

            My Midwest queen?

Have you seen

            My Midwest queen?
